An editorial in The Observer newspaper on Sunday called for the cancellation of President Donald Trump s upcoming state visit to the U.K. in the wake of the Mueller report.
The prospect of Donald Trump making a state visit to Britain in June is stomach-churning, the Sunday sister paper of The Guardian noted. The corruption investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller , whose damning report was published last week, provided ample evidence of what we already know: Trump is unfit to hold the office of president of the United States.
The papers editorial said that honoring this unworthy man with a state visit, including an address to Parliament and a carriage ride with Queen Elizabeth II , would give an undeserved boost to a wounded charlatan. It also attacked Trumps reactionary policies on climate change, migration, race, multilateralism, Yemen, nuclear arms and civil liberties.
By his words and actions over two wretched, destructive years in power, he has proved beyond doubt he is no friend of Britain, the editorial said.
